q Pra cttcal Way.
The Western: towns and cities THAT
have succeeded in attracting the most
attention to their advantages have went.
att in a practical business way, aud
extended liberal assistance to- their
newspapers. The influence a live.
newspaper has in booming a town is
unrivaled, but the income derived from
ordinary business channels is never
large enought to warrant paper in
doing all that ought to be accomplished.
This fact is recognized by the leaders
in many places, as will be seen by the
following item taken from an Eastern
paper ". s.:i5 y.
The impression that it is the dutyofa
newspaper, at its own cost, and without
recognition or conpen sation, TO boom its.
town, first last and all the time, has d
christian Interpretation i'll some places.
The people of Tucson, Arizona, By pub
lie subscription, buy 5000 copies Of their.
local paper every month for the purpose
of sending it abroad, and@in addition
write-ups Of their city. Lamar, Kansas,
recently subscribed $1,000 for a panph-
tand $1,000 for write.up in the local
press. The Monitor, of Fl. Scott, Kan
sas, is paid - 1000 for taking up the adj
vantages of that city. Hutchinson, Kan
sas, pays the News $40, 600 for running
morning paper, and Newton subscribes
SD, 900 to have the Republican boom
that place. j.. + >>.1s
The Farmer, published at Fergus
Falls, prints the following editorial, and
ably presents the views entertained by
people who thoroughly understand the
art Of booming: ...
All that is necessary to attract capital
and induce manufactures 10 locate here
is to present these advantages before
the outside world in such a manner rs
to convince them that there is such
place; that we have all we claim, water
power, agricultural resources, schools,
ETC., etc. And the way to do this is to
advertise thoroughly, persistently,
continuously through the local news
papers. Get Cup attractive, handsome
special editions, scatter them broadcast
throughout the east. Places OF not
halfthe pretensions of Fergus Falls have
adopted tic method Ct continuously

have exceeded their most sanguine
expectations. Some towns in Oregon,
Kansas and other western states have
paid large sums Of money to local papers
to publish immense editions which have
been gratiously circulated all over the
east. This is a much better way to
advertise than to pay some outside
newspapers Il large sum to "writeup"
the town, Several hundred lollars
have been worse than squandered in
this way; for in no instance have the
articles TINS published done Justice; in
fact in the majority of cases they have
been positive damage to the place
Carefully prepared newspaper, printed
on good paper illustrated by cuts Of the
water power, mills insane asylum,
banks, hotels, etc-not the vile old cuts
that have done duty in years past, but
new and well engraved electrotypes,
properly displayed and describeti-the
magnificent unfailing water power; the
nnbounded agricultural resources of the
PARK Region SO depicted rs to, attract
universal attention, readable, truthful
epitome of our advantages, etc, could
not fail to be ofinestimab!e value. And
let such AN issue as this be put out
frequently, the benefit that would
accrue to the city for such a system of
advertising would be sohd and pro-
fitable. Let the chamber Of commerce
get together and discuss this important
matter i'll all it's bearing, We are ready
to do our part.
